Costanzos | Brand Positioning + Package Design
Elevating a Better-for-You Brand
the IN take
Occasionally we have the opportunity to contribute to the launch of a new product that not only delights consumers with its incredible taste but also brings them a significant nutritional advantage. It’s being on the forefront of innovations like these that make us feel truly inspired and grateful to be working in this dynamic industry.

approach

The creative wordplay speaks to their unique blend that supports a healthy lifestyle while the tagline incorporates the high taste appeal. Details of the design incorporate the credibility of Costanzo’s (“Since 1933”) and retain the core Costanzo’s red. If you look closely and know your grains, you’ll notice fenugreek and other ingredient illustrations frame the corners to connect with the proprietary, plant-based blend.
